The years I was the shopkeeper at the Yinhun Inn Chapter 220 The bloody accounts of Yin and Yang will be settled, and the drama will end in Jiangdu at sunrise
Chapter 220 The bloody accounts of Yin and Yang will be settled, and the drama will end in Jiangdu at sunrise
"In the first year of Tianzuo, more than 20 Master Huijing and the monks who protected the temple were killed in Daqing Temple in the capital.
"In the second year of Tianzuo, twelve soldiers from Yunguan in Sichuan and Shu were killed.
"In the third year of Tianzuo's reign, nine Taoist priests from Baiyunguan were killed and one man was chopped alive for practicing evil arts.
"Tong Tianzuo three years ago, kill...kill..."
As Zhou Shi flipped the abacus and revealed all the crimes Budu had committed in his life, terrible changes were also taking place in Budu——
"Chi!" A strange bulge appeared on his cassock, and as the bulge moved, a strip of flesh was cut out.
"Ah!" Budu felt the pain, and then said in surprise, "No, no, I have escaped all worries, how can it hurt?"
"...In the seventh year of Tianzuo's reign, a blood sacrifice was made in Hejia Village, Zongcheng, northwest, and one hundred and seventy-seven people died..."
"Ah!" Another piece of flesh was cut out.
One crime after another was liquidated by the iron abacus, and the skin and flesh on Budu's body peeled off, and he soon lost his human form.
"Damn it...boy, who do you think you are? The judge of the underworld? Uh-huh-" Budu frantically tore his cassock to pieces and roared, "You are worthy of a ghost created like this.
Judge me! Ahhhh——"
His arms scratched up and down his body, accelerating the peeling of flesh and blood.
When Zhou Shi counted Tian Zuo's fifteen years of crimes, he had turned into a skinny branch, and only the blood that kept pouring out reminded Zhou Shi that he was once a human being.
In Zhou Shi's eyes, the crimes Budu committed flashed through one by one. He could simultaneously feel Budu's pleasure in killing and the victim's despair... These two extreme emotions were also eroding his sanity.
Using the method of closing eyes of gods and Buddhas, he turned himself into a fierce ghost like Budu. This was a battle that would break the boat.
Abi hell... A smile flashed across Zhou Shi's face.
Just the right destination. If you don’t cross me, you and I will be companions on the road to Huangquan!
"In the fifteenth year of Tianzuo, seven babies were killed in Yinling City..."
"Gah——"
Like an old tree blooming, Budu's body suddenly began to grow. A bud sprouted from his head, and then split into eight petals, turning into eight skinless iron arms!
A head the size of a fist emerged from the center of the eight arms. It opened three eyes and stared at Zhou Shi with a fierce look.
This is the true form of the fierce ghost Budu... Zhou Shi observed all this calmly and read out one of Budu's crimes.
A groove appeared on one of Budu's arms, but its flesh could not be truly cut off.
At the same time, the other arm waved, and a strong force swept across Zhou Shi!
"Click!"
The huge bone abacus has one side broken!
The eight arms curled downward at the same time like flowers in full bloom, and the eight forces also pulled Zhou Shi's body, trying to tear him into eight pieces from the top of his head!
"Well...Twenty years of Tianzuo..."
Zhou Shi endured the severe pain without any disturbance in his hand movements.
As long as you persist, the flaw will definitely appear...
The curling of the eight arms has reached the limit, and several bloodstains running from head to toe appear on the body's surface. He has almost reached the limit!
"...On New Year's Eve of the seventeenth year of Tianzuo's reign, a thousand ghosts swept across Jiangdu and killed 970 people!
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the eighteenth year of Tianzuo's reign, he awakened the dignified elephant in the Eight Symbols Diagram and trapped three million people in Jiangdu!"
Finally, once the most serious crime was revealed, Zhou Shi pressed several abacus beads heavily.
Budu's eight iron arms shrank into a ball uncontrollably, and then exploded, with blood splattering everywhere!
The team of skeletal hands beside Zhou Shi also broke several fingers, and a corner of the huge bone abacus was shattered, allowing two rows of skull abacus beads to roll down.
"Amitabha, Amitabha..."
The sound of chanting came from all directions, and Zhou Shi knew that he had made the right bet.
Looking back, the team stumbling in hell stopped, and the men, women, old and young among them all looked up at him.
They uniformly raised their hands and cupped their fists and saluted him.
Zhou Shi grinned, and just as he was about to clasp his fists in return, he realized that the hellish scene was fading away, and his body was also dissolving...
As if escaping from a dream, he woke up on the overgrown ground in the ruined temple, and the smell of blood rushed straight into his nose.
Zhou Shi stood up slowly and found that there were countless red threads going in and out of his body, suturing the hideous wounds on his body.
These red lines come from the picture of the lady in red beside him.
When he and Yu Changren rushed to the small courtyard where the dignified elephant was, it had been cut into two pieces, and countless red threads were wandering around, randomly woven into rough red silk.
Needless to say, this is Lu Yan's handiwork.
The replica of the lady in red copied by Cai Youlin became the new host of the ghost bride. She lost her soul and the dignified image also disintegrated.
And this new picture of a lady in red has become the key to breaking the situation.
At this moment, it was spread out on the ground while releasing red threads to help Zhou Shi repair his body. At the same time, it stretched more red threads towards the center of the ruined temple and entangled a small dry tree.
Eight green buds sprouted from the top of this tree, which are somewhat eerily similar to the eight-armed bud in "Hell".
It's not entirely wrong to say it's "hell". Zhou Shi thought weakly, but it's just not his hell.
But a hell that cannot be crossed.
After using the method of closing eyes of gods and Buddhas to transform himself into a fierce ghost, Zhou Shi was able to see various crimes committed by Budu. At that time, he discovered that many of the faces of those killed by Budu appeared in hell.
.
Those who are stumbling and pacing back and forth in the boundless hell without getting relief are the people who were killed directly or indirectly by Budu.
Budu's ability is not to make others fall into hell, but to lead others into his own hell... That's why the hell is full of people who were killed by him.
Zhou Shi knew that his body was still outside hell and was being maintained by the new lady in red, so he dared to give Budu a try and turn himself into a ghost to fight against Budu.
He checked his body up and down to make sure that he had not really turned into a ghost.
"Ah, I'm so exhausted..."
After a night of fierce fighting, all the strength he had squeezed out by willpower was exhausted, and he realized how tired he was.
He simply collapsed on the ground, knowing that Yu Changren's voice sounded outside the temple:
"Hey, are you still alive?"
Zhou Shi grinned.
"Alive."
The sunlight illuminated the giant Buddha that was split in half, and also illuminated the strange sapling growing in the center of the ruined temple.
……
"I'd better just be my corpse collector. Official job is obviously not suitable for me."
At noon on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Yujiang, who was lying on a stretcher in Zhou Shi's room, sighed feebly after listening to Zhou Shi tell what happened on New Year's Eve.
Yu Heng was amused: "Hey, so that's what you had in mind!"
"What's wrong? You two are official servants, Xiao Zhang is a direct disciple of Wudang, shopkeeper Zhou owns Fengde Tower, and I am the only one floating on the river helpless... who says this? He who has no permanent property has no perseverance.
Well!"
Zhang Huanming, who was sitting on the kang, smiled and said: "Brother Fu, Wudang Mountain is not my property. If you want to come, just become a disciple directly."
"Forget it, forget it, I can't stand the rules in your sect."
After telling the joke, Yu Heng said seriously:
"Anyway, let me put my words here first. The Zhenyin Division has just been established and is in short supply of manpower. All the experts from the outer sect can join through my introduction. Once you hang up the badge of the Zhenyin Division, there will be gold medal agents from the Ministry of Punishment.
Same treatment."
Yu Changren had a cold face and was about to speak when he was held down by Ma Jiaxiang.
"Mr. Mo, how are the conditions of the two people in Yichunyuan?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just a little bit of yin energy. I've helped them deal with it." Mr. Mo knocked the pot and said, "It's a shame that you guys were able to break out from the walking corpses."
"Where... I really don't understand why they threw Yichunyuan into the river."
Zhou Shi said casually: "The monsters are acting unnaturally, maybe it's a demonstration."
Zhao Xuan jumped down from the kang and said: "The envoys from the Ministry of Punishment will arrive today. Alas, they were originally here to deal with Wu Zhaokun's disappearance case. I don't know what their expressions were when they found that Jiangdu was in ruins... I'm leaving now." As soon as she left, others felt that they should not stay long and left one after another. Zhang Huanming and Yu Heng worked together to lift Fu Yujiang's stretcher and bid farewell to Zhou Shi and Mr. Mo.
Looking at their retreating figures, Zhou Shi thought: Is it all over?
Putting his finger on the iron abacus, he sighed again:
No.
The ghost of Budu was dispersed by him, and the reward of Iron Abacus came.
But after knowing the secret of Iron Abacus, he was hesitant whether he should accept the reward.
